Wakatake “Oniotome” Yume
Shizuoka prefecture
Like the spring’s first blossom
This seasonal release comes in time for “hanami,” or viewing cherry blossoms. The demon maiden on the bottle is a manifestation of the desire to brew innocent sake, but stay vigilant. This brew utilizes local Shizuoka prefecture water, yeast and rice to full effect. The refined temperature control and quick bottling allows this sake to capture a full aroma and flavor. Grab a bottle and go enjoy the springtime flowers!

Wakatake, Wakatake “Onikoroshi,” “Onna Nakase” and “Oniotome” are all brands of Omuraya Brewing Company, which was founded in 1832. This historic brewery is located on the Tokaido Road, where merchants and travelers often stayed due to Oi River floods. They pay particular attention to using quality ingredients, like soft water from the Minami Alps. They also use their own rice milling machine from three generations ago. Having switched to producing all premium sake in 2002, and now in the seventh generation of ownership, they continue to please locals and visitors alike with their long-loved series.
